It's our final tutorial of the year! But no worries, we'll have lots of new tutorials throughout 2017!

So Tracey was working with our October Scraps of Elegance 'Petals' kit, and she created this gorgeous page:

And here's what Tracey says about her layout:

I enjoy the artistic outlet that scrapbooking provides, but it's also all about capturing special memories. Our sweet daughter-in-law's grandfather recently passed away. This is one of her favorite photos of them together. They both look so happy waving at the camera. I gave this to Rachel for her birthday this week and she was so happy to receive it. She would like to display it in their home, so I'll be framing it for her.

The gorgeous Kaisercraft papers with the memories sentiments couldn't be more perfect for this sweet page! I hope you enjoy learning from my creative process in this DIY Process Video:

We at Scraps Of Darkness and Scraps Of Elegance hope you had a wonderful holiday season!

We are still celebrating winter wonders with Kathy's fabulous layout using the Scraps Of Darkness 'Snow Angels' kit

The background paper is Bo Bunny paper from the Main Kit. She used a Tim Holtz snowflake stamp with brown archival ink and stamped
around the page. She used the irRESISTible white textured spray that
comes in the Color Add On. It leaves a really nice mottled effect. She also added a few white splatters to emulate snow.

She cut a strip of Bo Bunny paper from the Main kit about 5 inches wide
and adhered it down the center of the layout. She cut 2 different strips
to layer on top. On the lighter strip she stamped a zig zag stitch. From
that point she started layering papers, tags, die cuts and stickers on
each site of the photo. She also used a frame die cut included in the Main
Kit to mat the photo. The stickers come in the Elements Add On. On
each side of the wide strip She glued two large silver snowflakes from her
stash to be the center of her flower clusters.

At the tops of the photo and bottom left side She created some fun flower,
snowflake, and holly leaf clusters. She used the Bo Bunny Snowflake
chipboards included in the Main kit; silvery holly leaves from the
Elements Add On; Petaloo velvet gold poinsettia from the Creativity Add
On. And used the
eyelash trim behind the flowers. She also tucked in a few
little brown flowers from previous kits.

She lightly dry brushed gesso around the layout to make it blend together.
The framed sentiment at the bottom right is included in the die cuts
from Bo Bunny in the Main Kit.

the Scraps Of Darkness 'Snow Angels' kit is perfect for celebrating those moments...

I took this photo a couple of years ago when Tyler built a snow dragon! The awesome Bo Bunny papers were prefect!

I cut up the velum sheet to use as a title!

Kathy created such a fabulous winter wonderland for her layout!

The background paper is from Kaisercraft's "Frosted Collection" and is
included in the Coordinating Paper Add On. She used Tim Holtz's Distress
Ink in "Faded Jeans" around the photo to add a little depth and
shadows. Then she used modeling paste and a Prima stencil (previous
kit). On top of the circles she used the Snow Marker that comes with the
Main Kit. It puffs up after you use a heat gun on it, VERY cool. She
added a few die cut snowflakes from Bo Bunny, which come in the Main
Kit.

She loved the vellum paper included in the Elements Add On from Bo Bunny. She
cut the strip of snowflakes to adhere across and then wrapped silver
cord (She got that in this month's Scraps of Elegance kit).

She used a Tim Holtz stars die on silver metallic paper from her stash and
cut two borders to frame her photo. She used a white cardstock and cut two
more borders to shadow the silver ones. She also used 2 different papers
from the Bo Bunny papers included in our Main Kit to mat the photo. She
adhered more snowflakes on top of the star border. These snowflakes she
fussy cut from the Bo Bunny paper in the Main Kit. She popped in a die
cut phrase from the Main Kit. She added the "Winter Sticker" from the Bo
Bunny stickers included in the Elements Add On.

At the top of the photo she used 3 squares which she fussy cut from one of
the Bo Bunny images paper in the Main Kit. She also applied a square at
the very bottom of the photo, which you can barely see.

At the bottom left side of the background paper was a framed picture
that didn't quite fit the theme of my lo, so she fussy cut the image of
the young boy. It was printed on the images paper from Bo Bunny.

She decided to try her hand for the first time making a flower!!! She has
this beautiful die cut of a poinsettia from my stash. She cut the top
layer in white cardstock and the bottom in matte grey. She applied silver
Stickles to outline the embossing then added the "Silver Linings" Prills
(comes in this month's Scraps of Elegance kit) to the center.

These gorgeous gold flowers come in the Main Kit. She painted them with
the silver acrylic paint included in the Color Add On. She also used a die cut
key from Bo Bunny that comes with the Main Kit.

The title came from her stash. She used the Snow Marker (Main kit). All
you do is apply it to the chipboard and then use heat to make it puff
up.
